These Mean Streets, Darkly — Austin Dragon

THESE MEAN STREETS, DARKLY the prequel to the upcoming, cyberpunk, detective series, Liquid Cool.

It's a world of colossal skyscrapers. Hover-cars fly above in the dark, rainy skies and gray people walk below on the grimy, hard streets in the “Neon Jungle.” Uber-governments and mega-corporations fight for control of the super-city, but so does crime.

An average woman, Carol -- hardworking and decent in every way -- loses her daughter to the psycho Red Rabbit. Can Police Central find the girl in time -- alive? And is it really a random, senseless kidnapping in the fifty-million-plus city?

There are a million victims and perpetrators in this High-Tech, Low-Life World. This is one of those stories…before we meet our private eye (and unlikely hero), Cruz, in the debut novel, Liquid Cool!
